I'm here as newbie, but as desperate newbie I'm looking for
some input here. I've been having problems with my connection. I get
disconnected at random, so what I've done so far is checked with my ISP, the
phone company, and another newsgroup for my old modem, because after all
those other checks proved futile, we determined my modem had been damaged.
So I bought a new modem, had it installed and expected my problems to be
over...NOT!!! I'm still getting disconnected. I have a couple of free ISPs
and I've tried running either of those and still have the same problem. I have another computer hooked to the same ISP,
on another phone jack, and there isn't any problem at all with that one. I tried
using this machine on that jack and got disconnected from that one too. I've added strings to the modem setting to no avail. My connection starts at around 50K and then over
the course of my connection (usually about an hour), it gradually drops,
until at around 28K I get disconnected.
My machine is a pentiumIII 500, running win98, my modem now is a Motorola FM56 PCI. The strings I've added are S10=200 (my ISP suggested) and the one Motorola gave me, AT&F&C&D*MM15, and we 've changed the port just in case it was bad.
Any ideas on whether this is software, hardware, or anything else. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
